Not only is that damage consistent with the claim that Zimmerman was
having his head bashed against the concrete sidewalk but two other
things came out of the interview linked above that are of great
importance to the development of facts surrounding that night -- the embedded data in the image file has a time stamp off the cell tower (it was an iPhone 4s) and geotag information from
the phone's GPS matches the location. There's a high probability that
photograph and the tags embedded in it will be deemed admissible
evidence.
Finally the witness said that there were visible powder burns on
Martin's clothing (one of the questions I had originally as their
presence would be expected given Zimmerman's narrative of what
happened.)

If this all holds up it's pretty clear that the legal standard of objectively reasonable fear of great bodily injury or death was met for Zimmerman, and if so the shooting was justified -- period.

The outrage and violence will be just short of the LA riots. They want to save that for something special....

The state’s attorney is now making a case against
leniency when it comes to the bond decision, and has asked for no bond,
or a bond of $1 million.
The state’s attorney argued that Zimmerman is a danger to the public,
citing not only the second-degree murder charge, but a previous charge
of battery against a law enforcement officer, which was discussed at
length earlier in the hearing.

I am a Southerner...The Spirit of my Confederate ancestorBoils in my blood. He foughtNot for what he thought was right, But for what was right. Not for slavery, But to resist tyranny, Machiavellian laws, Oppressive taxation, invasion of his land, For the right to be left alone.

I am a Southerner. A rebel,Seldom Politically Correct, At times belligerent. I don't like Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Or modern neocon politicians like them.

I like hunting and fishing, Leonard Skynyrd, The Bonnie Blue and Dixie. I still believe in chivalry and civility.

I am a face in the Southern collage of Gentlemen and Scholars, belles and writers, Soldiers and sharecroppers, Cajuns and Creoles, Tejanos and Islenos, Celts and Germans, Gullah and Geechi, freedmen and slaves, We are ALL the South.
